Thanks for the .02 cents! Hey, I MUST be a scrapper because i'll certainly still stop and pick up a penny or two. Anyway, I'm in full agreement with you about "those wheels"! I've carved out a couple in my time and to be honest, it's a **** good deal easier to use those wheels that others have labored in refining. To be honest, I've only recently even gotten into the whole "scrap thing". In fact, unlike a lot of other scrappers I don't actually seek out additional scrap but am actually simply getting into it as a by-product of all the leftover waste I found myself to be left with. It's a bit of a winded story but essentially I buy, repair, sell (and might soon even rent?) dehumidifiers. That said, I target certain older units which seems to have been built far more superior.... many of which were manufactured using R22 as a refrigerant. I presently have the Freon properly evacuated by an EPA approved vendor, I can see a potential revenue stream as well from my own eventual endeavor to recover this increasingly rare and costly gas. At this point, I've even gone out of state to purchase a few Frigidaire and Soleus Air dehumidifiers from others (if I can master some super cheap air and car rental arrangements). Now, if I could only find a way to make money from all the heavy gauge plastic that I continually collect from these things?!! As for the E-scrap, I've just now started collecting the small boards from these things. Up to know I've simply tossed them. From this site however, I've read that a couple resources might exist to ship/sell those small circuit boards. At this point, i've only recently begun to reap the benefits of breaking down and selling the scrap motors, Compressors, copper, wire, etc. In fact, I'm going on a small road-trip down to S. Florida and am taking a load of scrap with me just to check out the "pay-out" of a yard down there that supposedly pays nearly double for motors and sealed units.
